Join REI and The 5am Crew for a special Friendsgiving hike and potluck, celebrating 10 years of #OptOutside. Connect with community, share gratitude on the trail, and enjoy a post-hike Friendsgiving potluck in the park! To celebrate, REI is launching a sweepstakes - enter onsite, and you could win a $300 REI gift card and REI Trail 25 Pack to help you gear up for your next adventure. Bring your favorite dish to share with friends for a post-hike hangout and participate in a community art project that tells us why you #OptOutside. Come for the hike, stay for the gratitude, and kick off the holiday season with fresh air and connection! #OptOutside first launched in 2015. REI Co-op announced in October of that year that it would close its stores on Black Friday for the first time, giving its employees the day off to #OptOutside and encouraging others around the country to skip the shopping lines and do the same. For that reason, #OptOutside isn’t just about Black Friday. It’s a mindset. It’s about choosing life outdoors. And it has become a way for people to share who they are and what they believe in. Again this year, the co-op invites you to do just that. Start your own tradition. Gather your favorite people, go to your most beloved places, share your best days outside.
